Napalunok na lang si Vannie. Napapansin niyang nagsimula na itong maglakad papalapit sa kanya. She was getting more nervous. She doesn't even know if Kate was mad at her for being there. Kate was giving her a straight face. Alam niyang galit pa rin ito sa kanya. She doesn't know.
Kate stopped when she was already a half-meter away from her. Kate raised an eyebrow the moment she was already near her. "Anong ginagawa mo rito?" She sounded like she doesn't want her presence there. Napakagat-labi na lang siya.
"Uhm.. H-Happy Birthday, Kate." She replied back. Medyo nasaktan siya dahil sa sinabi nito. Kate still hates her, "Nangako ako sayo dati.. Na kapag debut mo na, bibigyan kita ng mga paborito mong mga libro." Sabay abot niya sa paperbag kung saan niya nilagay ang mga novels. Her heart was really beating fast.
"I don't want any of it," Kate suddenly said. It was cold, "I don't want you here. Ano bang ginagawa mo rito? I don't remember inviting you." She added rudely. Ibang-iba na talaga ito sa Kate na naging kaibigan niya. She changed so much.
"Kate, p-please.." Gusto niyang maiyak. Hindi niya kasi aakalain na sa ganito hahantong ang pagkakaibigan nila. "I'm really sorry. I'm so sorry. Kate, please, don't let our friendship be gone." She tried to hold her hand pero tinabig lang nito.
"Matagal ng nawala ang pagkakaibigan natin, Ate." She sarcastically replied. "Saka tumigil ka na. Kahit anong gawin mo, I don't want you to become my friend again." Kate then crossed her arms, "Umalis ka na. You're not invited. Go home before I'll call someone to put you out here." Tinalikuran siya nito kaagad.
"Kate, ano bang gagawin ko para hindi mo 'ko kamuhian?" She frustratingly said. Tumigil naman ito.
Kate then turned back at her. She was smiling at her—mischievously. "I have something to ask you." She paused for a moment, "I've heard the rumors, naghiwalay na raw kayo ni Kuya Adrian?"
Nagulat naman si Vannie sa tinanong nito. She hesitantly nodded.
"And now, you're dating.. Samuel Ignacio that fast? Wow. Hindi ko alam na ganyan ka talaga kaselfish, Ate Vanessa." Napailing-iling pa ito. Her statements were full of sarcasm.
Napayuko na lang si Vanessa sa sinabi nito.
"You're just using him, right? To redeem yourself?" Napaangat naman ang ulo niya dahil sa sinabi nito. "He's an option so you can save yourself from the humiliation, am I right? You don't love him." Kate smirked after she said those words. Hindi naman kaagad nakapagsalita si Vanessa sa sinabi nito.
"Now, if you want us to be okay, tell him the truth, Ate Vanessa." She challenged her. "Tell him that he's not important."
"Tell him that you will never love him." She then gave her a devilish grin. Vanessa noticed Kate was looking at someone behind her back.
Vanessa looked back and saw Samuel—standing behind her. Kanina pa ba ito na nandodoon?
Nagkatinginan naman silang dalawa at ilang segundo rin ay umalis na ito.
"S-Sam!" She called out his name and quickly followed him. Narinig ba nito ang pinagsasasabi ni Kate sa kanya?
Sinundan naman kaagad ito ni Vanessa. She ran so fast so she could catch up with him. Sadyang ang bilis makalakad ng lalake. Nakalabas na rin silang dalawa sa bahay ni Kate. It was already a very late night.
"Sam!" Tawag niya ulit sa pangalan nito. She was panting.
Tumigil naman ito sa mga yapak nito.
"Sam.." Hindi niya alam kung anong sasabihin niya rito. Even herself, she was confused. She was so confused, "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry." The words she could only utter. She's sorry for not thanking him when he saves her all the time. She's sorry for not giving it back to him for all the good things that he did to her. She's sorry for hurting him.
She's sorry for she wasn't still sure of her feelings towards him.
"What if I won't accept your sorry anymore, Velasco?" He coldly said, "What would you do?"
Nagulat naman siya sa sinabi nito sa kanya. Just a few seconds, Samuel Ignacio started to walk, leaving her alone.

"And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible, yeah
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby
I love the way, I love the way..."
Sam smirked as he gulped another glass of beer. Nasa isang club kasi siya, nilalasing ang sarili niya. He was at the bar counter, alone. He couldn't help but to laugh while hearing the lyrics of song 'Irresistible by Fall Out Boy'. Iyon kasi ang kinakanta ng banda na nasa loob.
"You're second hand smoke, second hand smoke
I breathe you in, but, honey, I don't know what you're doing to me.."
"I already told Max to fetch her up," Bigla namang tumabi sa kanya si Jared. His friend immediately ordered some drinks.
Sam just grinned and gulped another glass. Fuck. Hindi pa rin siya nalalasing. Even the alcohol couldn't fuck him up enough.
While Vanessa—can fuck him up every day. Vanessa fucks his life up even more than the cigarettes he had smoked.
"Jared," He called his friend's name. Bakit hindi pa rin tumatalab sa kanya ang alak? Shit. He just wanted to get himself drunk for at least tonight. "Did you really love my sister?" He suddenly asked him—pertaining to her half-sister, Zia.
Hindi naman kaagad ito nakapagsalita sa sinabi niya but eventually, he heard Jared chuckled, "I guess. Maybe. Maybe I did love her. Well, I wouldn't go serious with her if I didn't." Jared answered and took a glass of beer.
"Girls are complicated, you know." Jared added. Sam couldn't agree more. "Why did you ask?"
Samuel just answered his friend a smirk and took another shot.
"Don't tell me, you're already falling for her, Samuel?"
Napatigil naman siya sa sinabi nito.
Yeah, of course.
He already fucking loves her.
